The championship for the European team began with an everyday series of victories over BIG (2:0), FaZe Clan (2:0) and NAVI (2:0) in the group stage. Taking the first line in group A, "samurai" secured a direct hit in the semi-finals of the competition and received an extra day to prepare for the decisive fights.
Once in the playoffs, G2 Esports continued their incredible adventure, confidently defeating Team Liquid (2:0) in the semi-finals.
